With soothing music playing in the background, students and staff gathered to celebrate the renovated SPHS Wellness Center, which is located in the back of the counseling center. The space includes cozy chairs, dedicated study space, colorful artwork, and calming activities. The renovation project was led by Train Your Brain Specialist and school social worker Natasha Stebbins and will be curated with the help of the SPHS Peer Mediators.

Thank you to SPEF, SPHS PTSA, the D.U.D.E.S., and the Kiwanis Club of South Pasadena for their generous donations and commitment to helping improve student mental health. The space is available daily at brunch and lunch to any student looking for a relaxing space to unwind.
